I was born in New York City and spent my first 12 years of life there. I attended the United Nations International School where I had an opportunity to learn about the various cultures of classmates who had come from all parts of the world.

Just before Middle School, my parents felt that they wanted a more small town upbringing for me and my two younger siblings and we left the big city and moved to East Hampton, a summer vacation town on the very tip of Long Island.

The transition from city to country living has been a positive one. In Middle School, I was on the High Honor Roll each year, as well as being a 4-sport athlete, competing on the Volleyball, Basketball, Cross Country and Softball teams and graduated as the Class Salutatorian.

In high school, I am fortunate to have had some talented and supportive teachers and a wide array of academic and creative classes to choose from. The videography class I took as a Freshman and Junior, was one of my favorites and something I hope to continue to pursue. I was on both the softball and cross country running teams my freshman year and have continued running cross country all four years of high school.

When I'm not involved in sports and academics, or watching YouTube, you can find me outside, taking advantage of the fresh open air and either biking, kayaking or running, always with a camera in hand.
